Close to the last straw

i'm about to lose my temper, so i'm typing it out instead.

LO is going through a wakeful phase, and i've basically had to deal with it, and the ordeal we've had with his reflux by myself. (i'm talking no friends, no grandparents, NOTHING.) DH used to be helpful, but now it's like he'd rather not deal with it. he comes home and the first thing he does is play a video game. i've had to act like some nagging sheepdog to get him to look at his son or hug him, because honestly the boy loves his dad so much and totally shrieks when he sees him. DH only does so if i repeat myself several times.

now, LO is awake after a failed bedtime at 9. i held him in my arms the way i usually do after he fell asleep from the feeding, because that's what the doc said for the reflux. LO did wake up when i tried to put him down. DH just turns over and looks all pissed. "why did you not put him down right away when he did fall asleep?" oh, and DH is now sound asleep, nevermind i'm tired out of my mind without relief.

venting over. beats screaming at DH at the moment.

This is almost exactly what I went through last night!  I was up until midnight with DS and DH was snoring away! 

Sorry you're having a crappy night

My dh has come home from work several times and walked right to the bed room and taken a nap. I told him after the last time, when DS was screaming and I held him 6 inches from DH's ear and all he did was roll over, I said if he does that again, I'm punching him in the face! (not really, but sometimes I would love to) 

Let it out! I'm so so sorry you DH is being a tool. I would break the video game thingy. Or *sell* it on craigslist and just  stick it in the attic for a few weeks

Hon, I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this alone. I know how exhausting and frustrating it is... I couldn't be doing it alone (I do, during the day, but when DH is home is tries to help). I wish I could do something to help, too bad we are so far if you need to talk, I'm here. Send me messages on FB whenever you need to vent. Sometimes telling things to someone helps a little bit. Sending you a hug.
